Supreme Court Sets Up High-Level Committee On Modi's Security Lapse: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi faced a security breach during his Punjab tour and he had to return back home without completing his tour. This created a sensation across the country and the Union Home Ministry asked the Punjab government to come up with an explanation.
The bench consisting of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kohli will pass a detailed order on the composition of the committee.
The internal document accessed by Aaj Tak/India Today indicates that the Punjab government was aware of PM Modi's changed travel plans and had already prepared alternate security cover and route plan.
With every passing hour since the hold up on the flyover in Punjab, it is becoming more and more apparent that Modi intends to use it as an excuse for avoiding an election in Punjab that the BJP is bound to lose.
While a post-mortem of the Punjab fiasco must be carried out, this isn't the first breach to have taken place. Former SPG personnel say Modi loves to call the shots, often riding roughshod over the advice of his security detail.
